Yes, the gap is at an angle and as I mentioned earlier the internal coating goes all the way up the neck up to around an inch from the gap in the gun. I think I did also say that the gun does not look perfectly straight. I think this tube needs the double field trap just as the specifications call for. Really that would make the most sense. As far as the raster with no trap I dont know what to say. I do remember everything being very off center. I have never seen the set work with everything set up right. What I mean is I have always had the chassis out with the crt shoved through the yoke. The weight of the tube is always on whatever I have laying around therefore the neck is never positioned correctly through the focus coil. I have noticed that moving the tube around has a big effect on the centering as would be expected. I wonder if this misadjustment could give me the "raster" without a trap. You know somehow moving the otherwise unviewable beam into partial view. Anyhow, I guess I will put this thing on hold until I find out something definit and/or find a double field trap. I do not want to ruin what seems to be a good tube. I wish I could trade up with someone who is into RCA roundies. They would already have a lot of the odds and ends like the trap and the correct knobs which I have had no luck finding. To me the set is not the most apealing thing to look at but is considered to be somewhat of a find as far as value. I wanted a roundie but I really want one with the more round look like the 60s color sets. Virginia trades anyone?? No color sets, just a description!
